Catholic Schools Week is an annual all-Ireland celebration which invites schools nationwide to give expression in an exceptional way to the ethos of Catholic education. This year’s theme, ‘Catholic schools: Learning with Pope Francis to care for our common home’ has been informed by the writing of Pope Francis in Laudato Si’, the 2015 encyclical by the Pope on care for our common home. Catholic Schools Week also acknowledges the tremendous contribution that our Catholic primary and post-primary schools make, not just to Irish society, but to the mission of the Church.

The enlightening publication Laudato Si’ was a number one bestseller for publisher Veritas in Ireland during 2015, selling over 15,000 copies and provides insights into the damage being done by modern society to the environment. The bestseller can be purchased online at Abbeybookshop.ie or in our shop on O’Connell St.
